Oleg D. Lavrentovich
Chemical Physics/Liquid Crystal Institute
O.D. Lavrentovich received his Ph.D. (1984) and Doctor of Science (1990) degrees in Physics and Mathematics from the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. In 1992 he joined the Liquid Crystal Institute as a Senior Research Fellow. Lavrentovich held visiting appointments at the University P. et M. Curie, University Denis Diderot in France and other universities. He is the member of the Editorial Board of Physical Review E and Advisor of the Kent State University SPIE Student Chapter.
Laverentovich currently focuses his research on advancing our understanding of structural organization in liquid crystals. More specifically, his research focuses on how the molecular interactions, electroctatic interactions andentropy effects shape the structural features of complex multicomponent systems such as lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals. |
